The door closed.

The two stepped into the narrow entryway.

"Hey... is there anyone else at your house?"

Lan Xinlan was somewhat surprised to see the girl in the room, dressed in loose pajamas and staring at her like a puffed-up kitten.

"Ah... um," Jiang Ling mumbled in response.

He carried the still-steaming takeout bag to the small table in the center of the room, which served as a dining table, and put it down.

"Miyu, come and swallow."

Li Meiyu slowly climbed out of bed, her big eyes fixed on Lan Xinlan like searchlights.

His voice was slightly hoarse from just waking up, with a hint of barely perceptible tension.

"Hey, you blondie, who's this 'outsider'?"

【What do you mean by "there are other people at home"?! Get your facts straight, you blue-haired jerk! You're the one who came here!】

"A friend I met on the road came to stay at my house for a few days," Jiang Ling said, filling a stainless steel rice bowl with a bucket of coconut chicken.

A rich aroma immediately filled the air.

"Here, eat it while it's hot."

"Oh..." Li Meiyu stared at Lan Xinlan, her feet feeling like they were weighed down with lead, and slowly moved to the small table.

She suddenly forced a smile, and deliberately softened her voice:

"Oh dear~ There's so much, how could Miyu possibly finish it all by herself? Why don't you let this... 'friend' eat some too? Otherwise it's such a waste, don't you think, you stinky, yellow-haired one?"

[You stinky blondie, you'd better explain this to Miu!]

Lan Xinlan keenly detected the faint smell of gunpowder in the air.

But her rumbling stomach and the delicious-smelling food in front of her left her no time to investigate further; she quickly nodded gratefully.

"Thanks……"

Jiang Ling: ……

The three sat around a low table.

The dim overhead light barely illuminated the small room, which served as both a living room and a bedroom, casting slightly ambiguous and cramped shadows on the walls.

Smack smack...

The three of them ate a super-sized portion of coconut chicken together.

The sounds of chewing and slurping soup became the main theme at that moment, and the atmosphere was subtly silent.

"that……"

Li Meiyu gently poked the chicken in the bowl with her chopsticks, her long eyelashes fluttering as she broke the silence with a naive curiosity in her voice.

"Should we... get to know each other more formally? Eating like this feels really strange."

"Oh... I... my name is Lan Xinlan..."

For some reason, Lan Xinlan felt inexplicably inferior in front of this girl who looked younger than her and was wearing pajamas, and her voice unconsciously softened.

Li Meiyu then looked at Jiang Ling and asked in a calm tone, "Would you like to introduce yourself?"

Why is that stupid little brat suddenly acting like a superior?

"that is……"

Jiang Ling thought for a moment and made up a reason about being a primary school classmate.

【Elementary school classmate?!】 Li Meiyu's heart skipped a beat.

[Then...then isn't that the legendary childhood sweetheart?! A childhood sweetheart falling from the sky?!]

[Damn it! Bringing her home so late... Weren't we standing really close at the door just now?! You stinky blondie! You did [illegible] to Miyu, and you still dare to cheat on her?! You scumbag! You bastard!]

Jiang Ling: Amei, your imagination is as wild as that of the Melancholy Monk.

"Just... a very ordinary classmate relationship?" Lan Xinlan tried to explain, her tone uncertain.

"The ordinary kind?" Li Meiyu asked Jiang Ling.

"The very ordinary kind." Jiang Ling nodded in confirmation, her tone completely calm.

At this moment, Lan Xinlan belatedly realized that something was amiss.

The two people in front of me don't seem to have a normal relationship...

Are you a couple?

The moment this thought clearly surfaced, Lan Xinlan felt as if something had gently pierced her heart.

A slight, aching throbbed in my chest, and I felt a tightness in my chest.

Hmm, could it be... that his saliva has some kind of aftereffect?

The three of them remained silent and finished the not-so-delicious coconut chicken.

"Well, our house is small, and we don't have any extra rooms."

Jiang Ling finished cleaning up the dishes, walked to the closet by the wall, opened the door, and began to lay out the bedding. "This is the only closet that can be used for sleeping... well, but the space inside is actually not bad. With your height, you should be able to stretch your legs out, so it won't be too cramped."

After taking a shower and changing into Li Meiyu's spare pajamas, Lan Xinlan looked at the deep closet space and hesitated for a moment.

But being under someone else's roof, she had no better choice. She thanked them, then hugged her pillow and crawled inside.

Let's just make do for a day or two.

Lying down inside, I found it surprisingly comfortable.

This enclosed and cramped space unexpectedly brought her a long-lost sense of comfort, like being curled up in a cozy embrace.

only……

The old-fashioned Japanese sliding door is quite old; the track isn't very smooth, so it can't be closed completely and tightly.

A thin, translucent slit was left.

Lan Xinlan stared at the crack and hesitated for a few seconds.

Unable to resist her curiosity, she crept closer like a wary yet curious kitten and stuck one eye on it.

The soul of the fryer was overjoyed!

pat.

Jiang Ling turned off the outside lights, plunging everything into darkness.

Lan Xinlan held her breath, not daring to move.

Gradually, the pupils dilate, and the eyes adapt to the dark environment.

Not far in front of the closet, on the floor, there was a quilt, bulging and full, obviously someone had already lain down inside.

[Hmm, they slept together, they really are a couple!]

Her breathing quickened slightly, and reason told her she should immediately turn back, close her eyes, and go to sleep.

But a certain indescribable emotion, a mixture of inquiry, bitterness, and a hint of secret excitement, compelled her not only not to look away, but to press her ear even closer to the crack.

"Hmph~ Your elementary school classmate is quite good-looking..."

"Miyu-chan, you've been acting strange since the beginning... Are you jealous?"

"No way~ Miyu would never be jealous of someone as insignificant as you..."

"Can I have a hug?"

After half an hour.

"She must be asleep." (whispering)

"Um... I want to sleep too, please don't..."

"Alright..."

……

"Miyu... can't sleep... can you... hug me?"

"Hey, didn't you say you wouldn't kiss her? Besides, what if you're too loud and wake her up? That would be so embarrassing."

"Then... what do you suggest we do... Miyu can't sleep..."
